| Poirier | Vincent H. Poirier | The Boston Globe | 05/12/1986 | dg052 | CAPT. VINCENT H. POIRIER, AT 89; HAD SAILED ALL OVER THE WORLD Vincent H. Poirier was 13 when he ventured out of Poirierville on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, to find his fortune. He went on to lead a seagoing life of adventure.Capt. Poirier was 89 when he was found dead in his home in the neighboring town of D'Escousse Friday morning. After a colorful career of over 50 years at sea, he had died in his sleep.According to his son, Rev. Vincent H. Poirier Jr., associate pastor of St. Mary's Church in Franklin, Capt. Poirier "literally had sailed all over the world.""As a youngster, he sailed first with a famous old English company, the Black Diamond Line. He shipped out as a fireman, shoveling coal in sweaty firerooms of transatlantic freight and passenger steamers," his son recalled.During the 1920s, he signed on with crews of former United Fruit Line ships out of Boston, sailing to Central and South American ports. He stayed with United Fruit, his son said, halfway through World War II. "He worked his way up to the deck . . . sailing for several months at time as a fireman. Then he'd come ashore to study for his certificate to become a licensed officer," his son said. After passing the license exam in 1939, Capt. Poirier obtained master's licenses in Canada and the United States. During the war, Capt. Poirier became skipper of the SS Casimir Polaski, a Liberty ship that survived a number of attacks. The Polaski was part of the Allied armada that invaded Normandy on June 6, 1944. Later, Capt. Poirier was skipper of the SS Francis D. Ogden. After the D-Day invasion, Capt. Poirier became a captain with the Boston-based Sprague Steamship Co. He sailed throughout the Pacific with Sprague until the war ended. During those years, his son recalled, Capt. Poirier's ships carried many dangerous cargoes, including gasoline, oil and munitions. "The ships had Navy crews to man the few guns on board . . . Once, he brought home a piece of shrapnel from a bomb that had exploded near his ship. It landed on deck near him," Rev. Poirier said. After the war, Capt. Poirier skippered Sprague Co. colliers along the Atlantic Seaboard, to and from Boston, and also to Europe. He retired in 1965 to his home in Quincy's Wollaston section, where he lived with his wife, the former Cecelia Poirier. In the late 1970s, they moved to D'Escousse. Mrs. Poirier died in January 1984, after 53 years of marriage. Besides his son, Capt. Poirier leaves a daughter, Annette Sexton of Norwell, and five grandchildren. Rev. Poirier will say a funeral Mass for his father at 3 p.m. today in St. Hyacinth's Church, D'Escousse.Social Security Death Index: Name Birth Death Last Residence Last Benefit SSN Issued VINCENT POIRIER 05 Dec 1897 May 1986 XX953 (U.S. Consulate: CANADA) (none specified) 081-20-4621 New York | |||

| Pope | M. Pope | The Evening Mail | 10/07/1922 | G. Newbury | Halifax, N.S., Monday, July 10, 1922 The Evening Mail Four Killed When Great Wireless Mast Crashed Down Shocking Tragedy at Marconi Towers Near Glace Bay - Fell 120 Feet - Three Instantly Killed GLACE BAY, July 8 - Four men, Norman MacRURY, Hugh CONNINGTON, A. KELLY and M. POPE, were killed at noon yesterday at the Marconi Towers, near Glace Bay. The men belonged to Louisbourg. They were erecting a steel mast and were in a cage 120 feet from the ground when the mast collasped. An official investigation to determine the cause of the collaspe of the tower will be conmended Monday afternoon at Glace Bay, by Coroner P.E. Ogilvie. About the same hour Louisbourg will witness one of the saddest, the four coffins of the victims, scenes in her long history, when Norman MacRury, Hugh Connington, M. Pope and A. Kelly will be carried in a common funeral procession to their last resting place. Up to the present time nothing official has been given the public as to the reason of the accident beyond the obvious information that the failure of an important part of the structural steel frame precipitated the catastrope. The four men were structural steel workers, and specialists in the erection of wireless towers of the lattice type. They were engaged in extending an old mast to a height of 310 feet. They had reached a height of 180 feet at noon, Saturday, and were working at that level, when without warning, some of the structural steel at the ninety foot buckled and the upper half of the mast toppled over and fell to the ground, carrying the workmen down in a tangle of girders. The tower did not break off completely, but buckled and fell over, its appearance after the accident being much the same, as that of a straw bent double. The lower half of the mast remained verticle, the upper half sloping at an angle down to the ground. When assistance arrived it was found that Connington, Kelly and Pope had been killed instantly, MacRury lived for about an hour after the accident. All four were badly crushed and mutilated by the steel. MacRury was the only married man of the four, all of whom belonged to Louisbourg. This is said to be the first accident of its kind in the history of the Marconi Co., in Canada. The four victims had been engaged in similiar work for years and were well known in wireless circles in Cape Breton for their skill in their different occupations. A special train on the Sydney and Louisbourg Railway carried the bodies to their home in Louisbourg. |

| Power | Mary Alexandrina 'Mae' (MacNeil) Power | Cape Breton Post | 05/11/2009 | Mary Alexandrina (Mae) Power, St. Peter's Born in 23/09/1916 at Gardiner Mines , Nova Scotia , Canada The late Mae Power passed away peacefully on the morning of Nov. 2, 2009, at the Richmond Villa nursing home, St. Peter’s, N.S. Born in Gardiner Mines, N.S., she was the daughter of James and Minnie (MacCormack) MacNeil. She was predeceased by her husband, William Power and her daughter, Judy Graham. She is survived by her son, Paul Power (Shirley), British Columbia; three grandsons, Stuart, Trevor and Jordan, Ontario; her sister, Catherine (Kaye) Chisholm, Neils Harbour; and brother, Stanley MacNeil, Ontario. Mae was one of only two girls in a family of 14 and was predeceased by four brothers who died in infancy, Adrian, James, John and Joseph. She was also predeceased by brothers, Andrew, Charles (Chas), Alphonsus (Phonse), Michael, Peter, Gregory and Ignatius. Mae moved to Ontario with her sister Kay during the Second World War and worked in a munitions plant as her part in the war effort. She married William Power of Whitby, Ont., and helped him run a large dairy farm until his death in the 1970s. She subsequently returned home to Cape Breton where she resided with her sister for a number of years until she entered the MacGillivray Guest Home and later the Richmond Villa. A warm and loving person Mae will ever be remembered for the acts of kindness she performed throughout her life. Her thoughts were always for the care and comfort of other people. Mae had many hardships to overcome, especially the death of her mother when Mae was six and the family was for the most part separated, the untimely death of her beloved daughter Judy, the sudden demise of her husband Bill, and her own personal struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. She was able to meet these challenges without resentment, and indeed, strove only to make the world a better place for those around her. In this, she was always successful. The family would like to thank the staffs of both the Richmond Villa and MacGillivray nursing homes for the solicitude with which they treated Mae over an 11-year period. Mae Power will be lovingly remembered for her gentle and generous spirit by all who had the privilege to know her. Her ashes will be interred with her husband in Pickering, Ont. |

At the age of 18 years he joined the service of the Eastern Extension Railway then completed between New Glasgow and Mulgrave, and fourteen years after he became a Conductor.

He will be missed, but his memory for his kindly acts, his friendships and the fine manner of man that he was will long be remembered. A few weeks ago he experienced a severe heart attack from which it was felt he was recovering when a second attack brought on death and shocked the home community with its sadness, and as the word of his passing reached people it was the occasion of many kindly tributes to the memory of the man who was so well known to thousands.
